Terror attack in Bangladesh continues. Departed from India in 1947 as a state of Pakistan – clinched the independence in 1971 after a 9-month of blood-shaded war against the Pakistan Army, the rise of Bangladesh politics during this time was extraordinary. From several Military Coups to the hidden terrorism inside, all occurrences had been tearing apart Bangladesh from the inside. But, Bangladesh rises again and again from that hard path as a supporter of democracy and universal religious concept. Not just the democracy, but the economic growth too is extraordinary now a day.

During this hard time, terrorists have been targeting Bangladesh for the last 2 years periodically just to break us apart once again.

What is their motive? Is it to get us blacklisted to the rest of the world that our security isn’t tight enough for the foreign diplomats? If it is, our Government has to confront a greater challenge most probably second after 1971.
